Indeed, you live in interesting times

So you've moved from "deserves to be punished for being born to a certain group" to "courts should be used to suppress political opposition". Interesting that you have equated all people who believe in a free Palestinian state with Nazis, which would include most western governments and a good chunk of Israelis who support a 2-state solution

Again, a teenage girl started a war?

Also, far more entertaining. Like a car crash

Yes. You were talking about Republicans, so I replied about Republicans. Democrats suck too! Happy? It wasn't that long ago that a senile old actor was president. A mentally unstable reality show host is just a small step, really. How Trump? Because he pretended to be a populist, said he would take on the corrupt establishment, give people jobs, save them from the foreigners, and generally whatever he thought they wanted to hear. Voters in your country understand that their politicians no longer represent them, and he tapped into that - he was decidedly not a standard politician. While he fooled some, most people recognised Trump as a disgusting buffoon (a feature rather than a bug for the basket), but the Democrats threw the election by turfing their own populist candidate, and running the most establishment (and generally hated) politician possible, making the choice "more of the same" vs "how bad could it be" I will take the average Canadians understanding of the American system over the average Americans knowledge of any other system. And the only proper response to your current system is comedy. I mean, you elected a clown... Joke. Collegial also means "marked by camaraderie among colleagues" Figuratively, I hope.

"billionair businessman" + Republican Party = PB +J. Also, I believe 2 presidential candidates in a row indicates a trend, not an anomaly. Making fun of Americans and their politics is more of a hobby for most. Few have the time or resources to go pro Is that really true any longer? I mean the fact that both sides have been bought by more or less the same folks mean they will pass the odd bipartisan bill to screw over the common folk, but beyond that they don't seem an't more chummy than your average MP

A good rule of thumb is not to listen to the ones with shaved heads and bent-arm cross tattoos. Or wearing sheets and pointy belaclavas

Are you going to bring this back around to fairness in the sentencing any time soon? You may have a point in there somewhere, but all I see is non sequiturs

When you start spewing about "globalist Zionist bankers", that's a pretty good sign of where your heart's at

If you can provide a similar case, I'd ask, but then again she'd likely be dead of old age by now. And when she says no, it wasn't fair that she got thrown in jail for slapping a soldier for as long as a soldier got for unlawfully killing a German, the point of this exercise would be what exactly?

Answered ... similar case, was dismissed. Unless your contention is that there is something fundamentally different between slapping a cop at your house vs your car, which is an interesting concept.

My grandmother actually did slap a police officer after he had pulled her over and was charged with assault. It was thrown out of court. The comparative sentences indicate a probable miscarriage of justice, but what I'm really interested in is your contention she deserved a harsh sentence because someone else lost a war.

I wasn't aware she was free to discuss terms. Seems like a lot of authority to invest in a teenager.

The old testament is a la carte. Homosexuality bad, shellfish good. 'cause.

Demonstrating that the basket of deplorables can sometimes see the light, but for all the wrong reasons, and without ever leaving the basket

So, sins of the father then.

I'm not sure why you would be surprised about how foreign opinion is "skewed" to the Democrats. The Republican party is seen to be full of racist, religious, climate change denying, war mongering gun nuts, which offends and worries those in the liberal democracies, and scares those from the more "authoritarian" countries, who are mostly of the wrong color and/or religion. It doesn't help that the last two presidents from that party were "seen as" incompetent boobs, and the last (current) one as a rather despicable and unstable person in general. As far as my view of American politics, it is that between the legalized corruption (money is speech, lol) and the resultant dismantling of the checks on large corporations and the wealthy, it has become an almost de facto plutocracy, with a sheen of democratic window dressing.

Geography, convenience, and basic math.

Hearsay based on a reconstructed text written 100 years after the death of Muhammad from oral traditions. The jury shall disregard the evidence.

Surrender? I can only wait at the top of the hill so long while the barbarians make faces and loud noises, but refuse to join the battle. I'm back for a bit because you finally made an attempt at a point. However, I need to sleep sometime to maintain this handsome visage, so I shan't tarry long. P.S. Which side of the pyrrhic victory are you in that analogy, the side that lost lost, or the side that lost in victory? Either way doesn't reflect very well on your debating skills. Actually, it's a trick question because I believe the real analogy you are looking for is the firing of parting shots while retreating with ones tail between ones legs, which has nothing to do with a pyrrhic victory. Certainly there are no parting shots by the surrenderer after the surrender, that would just be silly. Really the whole thing's a mess, so let's just forget about it shall we?

Damn, and I was all ready to declare unilateral victory in the great "how spiffy is my prophet" debate of '17, but you beat me to it. Hell, I got so caught up, I apparently even forgot I was atheist. I just thank God (Allahu akbar) that you ended the debate before you made any points. I'm sure they would have been devastating. Peace out.

He's a prophet, not a person. His real flesh and blood actions matter as much as those of Jesus, Moses, etc. What matters is the story his adherents personally believe, and being religion rather than fact, that's Rashomon territory.

According to the biased link I posted, none. What's your unbiased number? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

You're welcome.
